    5. Tua
    6. Louis
    7. Liston
    8. Shavers

    10. Frazier

    Gone for a mix of pure power and guys that had a dig but also implemented it with solid technique. If I was going on purely freaks, I'd take out Louis and Frazier and put Max Baer and Marciano in.

    Not one mention for Langford, who was the hardest puncher ever faced by McVey, Jennette, Wills and Gunboat Smith...too small?

    Good to see Sheppard getting a mention. Tommy Gomez could crack.
